Prince Fielder, now of the Texas Rangers, will wear jersey number 84, according to CBS Detroit. The former Milwaukee Brewer and Detroit Tiger was acquired by Texas in a recent trade for second baseman Ian Kinsler.

Fielder wore number 28 while with Detroit and Milwaukee. Pitcher Joakim Soria had been wearing number 28 most recently with the Rangers.

This choice of jersey number is unusual in that you don't normally see high numbers like this in baseball, other than the odd number 99. It will certainly let Fielder be unique and stand out from the crowd in Texas.
